Karl Polanyi papers, 1937-1963 [Bulk Dates: 1947-1963].

This collection contains the professional correspondence, writings, Columbia University materials, and research files produced by Polanyi primarily from the late 1940s to the early 1960s, during which time he was associated with Columbia University. Because there was no discernable order to much of the collection, the material has been been consolidated into clear series and alphabetized, within series, according to folder title. In cases where the folder was titled by Polanyi himself, the original folder title has been retained. In cases of unlabeled folders, or folders labeled by others, folder names have been altered to more accurately reflect the contents therein.
